How this service works
Machine-readable settlement service
Output
A JSON object containing the character count (and potentially additional text statistics) for the provided input string. The response schema is open-ended, so additional computed metrics may be included alongside the primary character count value.
Example use cases
Validate tweet character limit
“Can you count the characters in this draft tweet for me: 'Just launched our new product — check it out at example.com! #startup #launch' — I need to make sure it's under 280 characters.”
Measure bio text length
“Count the characters in my LinkedIn bio so I know if it fits the limit: 'Passionate software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable systems across fintech and healthcare.'”
Check form field input length
“How many characters are in this user-submitted comment: 'I absolutely loved the service, the team was incredibly responsive and the product exceeded all my expectations!'? I need the number to validate it against our 200-character cap.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://pennyrail.vercel.app/api/p/nano/text.stats--character-countWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, reliable, paid microservice to compute the character count of a text string without standing up your own infrastructure. It is well-suited for AI agents that need to validate text length against limits (e.g. social media character caps, form field constraints) and want a simple JSON response. Prefer this over rolling your own logic when operating in an automated payment pipeline (x402/USDC) where metered API calls are already part of the workflow.
Side effects
- Missing 'input' field in request body returns a validation error
- Empty string input may return zero or an error depending on server handling
- Overly long strings may trigger payload size limits or timeouts
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required before processing
- Malformed JSON body returns a parsing error
